Zion Utah

When Chuck and I arrived here 3 weeks ago, we were busy learning our jobs and meeting new people. The routine has become much easier and we workamp with a bunch of wonderful folks here!

Zion River RV Resort is a beautiful 5 star RV resort on the Virgin River, we have green grass and large level sites here.

There are also some very nice tent camping areas.

BEAUTIFUL SCENERY TOO!

This is one of the dirt roads just west of Virgin Utah, headed to the LaVerkin Overlook.

The Virgin River cuts a deep gorge into the earth and it can be seen starting here. As you drive through the town of LaVerkin and go over the bridge, you can easily see how deep this gorge becomes and how beautiful!

Looking west towards the town of LaVerkin. The colors and textures of the EarthMother around here are totally amazing! I haven't really begun to photograph the area yet! I promise you I will!

Above is highway 9 that eventually takes you to Virgin Utah, Springdale Utah and Zion National Park.This was taken looking east.

DOGGIE ART!

After coming back from car rides.... I had lots of "doggie art" on my back windows to wash off!

One day while Chuck and I were sitting outside reading our Kindles, a humming bird went flying by!Well hey! What the heck!??! I went right into town and bought a hummingbird feeder and now we have tons of hummers all doing flyby acrobatics and war combat to fight over who gets to the feeders first! Fun entertainment!

AMAZING LANDSCAPES AND SUNSETS

Whenever Chuck and I leave for a new adventure, the excitement builds in my tummy, the hound herd is bouncing around our heels, the MotherShip is packed and we are ready to meet the highway ahead! Today, I read this poem from The Hobbit, it perfectly describes what life has become for us!Hope you enjoy it!******************************************The Greatest Adventure, The Ballad of The HobbitFrom the animated movie The
Hobbit

The greatest adventure is what lies ahead.Today and tomorrow
are yet to be said.The chances, the changes are all yours to make.The
mold of your life is in your hands to break.

The greatest adventure is
there if you're bold.Let go of the moment that life makes you hold.To
measure the meaning can make you delay;It's time you stop thinkin' and
wasting the day.

The man who's a dreamer and never takes leaveWho
thinks of a world that is just make-believeWill never know passion, will
never know pain.Who sits by the window will one day see rain.

The
greatest adventure is what lies ahead.Today and tomorrow are yet to be
said.The chances, the changes are all yours to make.The mold of your
life is in your hands to break.

The greatest adventure is what lies ahead!*******************************************

Happy trails to you from the crew of the MotherShip and our hound herd! Chuck,pilot - Geri, co-pilot - and our navigators - Scotty, DoogieBowser and Radar!

This RV park has kept us so busy that when our days off arrive, we have been too exhausted to explore much! We are off on Mon, tues and Wed, so hopefully we will get some exploring done this week! That's what nice about being here for a whole season... lots of time for exploration!

Be sure and visit the ghost town of Grafton, just a few miles from Rockville. Fascinating look into the lives of the pioneers that were sent to settle that part of Utah. Also, be sure and stop at the cemetery. It really puts into perspective all the hardships those folks faced as they carved out a settlement.
